Forget what we, forward caetss, are saying about “Creamy Layer”.I foresee a few things happening to “Creamy Layer” like you sooner or later:1. Caste groups like Barbers and Washermen, who are really Backward and at the mercy of other caetss in rural areas, would demand and get separate reservation for them within the MBC category.2. Poor among SC, MBC and BC would want to keep out those who have already benefitted out of reservation. I know a number of Pallars, who inspite of having benefitted from reservation for SCs, think that their caste is considered low because they are covered under SC. As this false pride goes against what is beneficial for the community as a whole, the poor ones would anyway rebel against them.3. More and more forward caetss would get into “Education Business” and some benefits would trickle to the poor among them anyway. Whether you like it or not, Vellore Institute of Technology is better appreciated than Melmaruvathur Engineering College. Since the number of 4. Since Dalits and Forward Castes are at the receiving end of BCs and BCs, in different dimensions of course, an alliance of a sort would soon develop and I already see this happening. This will happen purely on the basis of “Enemy’s enemy is my friend”. BCs/MBCs would stand to lose out more, as affirmative action for SCs/STs is guaranteed in Constitution and their social stigma is universal. But OBCs are a divided lot across India and an aggressive Vanniar Sangam would only alienate other caetss from them. Hence the result would be short term gains and long term losses for vanniars. 5. All this would deepen the chasm among caetss of TN more. If you hate Forward caetss so much, don’t you think they would also start reciprocate the same feelings towards you, when you encounter them outside the conforts of your home and computer, in the real business and office environment? You are intelligent enough to figure out who stands to lose much by this unwarranted hatred.

My wife is a nursing staff under Govt. of West Bengal. Our one and only girl child is 14+. Their Deptt. grant only 15days child care leave turn wise among their colleagues in one spell not more than that.So besides the sickness and examination on what basis she can apply for child care leave?

respected sir,
i am a permanent employ of W.B. Govt. Aided College, appointed by the recommendation of C.S.C., W.B.. Should I entailed to avail ccl from my college authority ? kindly ,let me know regarding this clearly.
thanking you

Female school teachers should be eligible to take child care leave in the same way as govt. female employee can avail it.Otherwise it will be a great disparity and injustice between duo. We expect
justice and sympathetic consideration from a female CM of W.B.

Is the Primary School Teacher of Govt. of West Bengal is eligible for taking child care leave ? Actually my wife is a primary School Teacher , and presently posted at Hooghly , Uttarpara chakra…… Please reply…..

Please let me know whether the teachers of Govt aided schools will be eligible to enjoy the CCL leave? Female teachers are also mothers and there are several teachers who daily travel a long distance to reach their schools leaving their children at home.This is my request to respected CM to kindly consider the fact and to extend the rule for the teachers also.
